Chapter 534
"I’ve already eaten outside; just cook something for yourself and the child,"
Wan Dongcheng had long grown tired of the food at home. He liked dining out with others, having a little drink, and shooting the breeze.
Teaching at the second middle school, he had gotten to know quite a few people. When they learned he was Li Julin’s son-in-law, they always liked to invite him to meals to curry favor, greatly satisfying his vanity.
It was only then that Li Shiping noticed the smell of alcohol on Wan Dongcheng.
She said somewhat despondently, "Every time you get a break, you go out for drinks. It’s been a while since you’ve sat down with me and the child for a good chat and a meal."
From Monday to Friday, he had classes, always rushing in and out, and she understood that. But even on the weekends, he was never home. Just she and the child were left to mope around the house, feeling utterly empty.
"You think I have it easy outside?" Wan Dongcheng complained. "You think I want to drink? I want to do business, but neither my parents nor you support me. Now I’m teaching, and I got my teacher qualification on my own. Those senior teachers like to bully people, too. At the school, isn’t every day filled with sneers and jeers? You stay at home, taking care of the child, watching TV, living comfortably; you have so much energy because you don’t know the hardship of working."
Li Shiping was at a loss for words after his harangue.
